blinky

Totally understandable that we're skeptical about Cody playing year 1. However, most of that skepticism is coming from what we saw in the spring game. I know it wasn't all that long ago, but keep this in mind: When Cody played in that game he was still 17 years old (didn't turn 18 til June). For his entire time at NU during the spring semester, whether in class or in team workouts, he must have felt pretty uncomfortable being so young, away from home, not having other incoming freshmen to gel with, etc. My guess (hope) is that he's much more comfortable now. Not just with the offense, but with the idea of being a leader of the new guys. He's been there months longer than the other freshmen. He's run the offense and can help teach it to the younger guys. Teachers always learn just as much if not more than students, especially when they're putting it to practice on a daily basis. This is why there's a small part of me that believes Cody Green will indeed play this season. Is it realistic? Maybe not, but like other guys have said, I hope he is so good that it forces the coaching staff to get him in there.

True, but I doubt that many guys will redshirt every year under Bo. Sooner or later, some true freshman have to play. Its a recruiting matter, also. Many big time recruits want to play right away, and many times they are ready. Not to mention, it would create a bit of a scholarship problem if 15-20 guys redshirt every year.

I know its not an "I love NU. It is my dream..." type of quote, but as far as I can see it he's still committed. Hopefully Sanders is in contact with him often.

Been really quiet about him for a long time now. I have heard things about him being a very soft commit, but have seen nothing substantial to back that up. Does he have plans on visiting? I am impressed with Sloan's aggressive style of play in the defensive backfield. To me, he's the prototypical DB Bo is looking for - attack, attack, attack. Hopefully the staff can keep him locked in this 2010 class.

Please elaborate. I know he hasn't been to Lincoln yet, but when that visit happens wouldn't that help to assure his commitment?

imo, this looks like a jermaine gresham type of gamebreaker at TE. While I'm sure he'd be a fine DE, I think there are better guys at that spot that we are recruiting.

really not that bad of an idea to make your own site anyway. in this recruiting world, you gotta get your name out there.

Would be nice to see a big time push for this guy. On the surface, it seems as if he's patient with the recruiting process. That could be to our advantage if Bo and co. work on him. I could be completely wrong, too, though.
